Multisource Satellite Data-Driven Machine Learning Approach for Rice Yield Prediction
Estimation of rice crop yield at the village level is essential because village is the Insurance Unit (IU) for rice crop in many regions in India, and timely and accurate yield information at this scale supports timely and transparent claim settlements for farmers and supports local agricultural planning. To achieve this, a multi-source satellite data-based machine learning approach was used to estimate rice yield at the village level using optic…

Religion and Development
An interesting debate in social science pertains to the relationship between religion and economy, particularly the areas of economic development. Both these aspects are so different that they are often approached with a streak of scepticism. Religion is expected to drive one away from this world, engaging one with supra-empirical and spiritual concerns, and it is to its amelioration that the process of development devotes itself. This relationsh…

A survey of the changing aspects of different disciplines—belonging to different faculties—informs us of the impact that anthropological methods, perspectives, theories, and the conclusions of their cross-cultural studies have exercised on them, which indirectly confirms the analytical strength, explanatory power, and methodological sophistication of anthropology. Notwithstanding this, the growth of anthropology in India has been both uneven and …

The right mix of policy, institutional arrangements and use of technology provides the framework for a country's approach to disaster mitigation. Worldwide, there has been a shift away from a strictly 'top-down' approach relying on government alone, to a combination of 'top-down' and 'bottom-up' approaches. The aim is to enhance the indigenous coping mechanisms of vulnerable communities; draw on their cooperative spirit and energy; and empower th…

Conversion, Continuity and Change
When Peers are no More
An Old German Proverb is: ‘An old person who is loved is like a winter with flowers’. Keeping this in perspective, this paper explores the multitudinous dimension of old age with particular reference to India. It argues that along with myriad socio-economic measures, our policies for the old should also focus on integratingthe old people width their domestic systems on the one hand and society in general on the other
The Rathore Rajput Hero of Rajasthan
Few books are exemplars of real hard work sustained over a lengthy period of time as is John Smith'sThe Epic of Pabuji(1991). Starting his investigation of the scroll of cloth painting in 1973, a huge structure measuring fifteen feet by four, locally termedpar, before which this epic is sung by a special caste of people, lower in hierarchy, called Naik Bhopa, Smith in a span of eighteen years has accomplished a work of lasting stay in the ethnogr…

Should Anthropologists Pay Their Respondents
tends to neutralize the constructive ethnographic and analytical possibilities of a focus on constructive activity by employing it only as a principle of deconstruction of anti-constructivist approaches like Malinowskian empiricism. It is possible, however, to move in a different direction from the same point of departure, and approach the ethnography, and theoretical analysis, of cultural representation through the study of the activities of pro…

Debate on Approaches to the Tribes Substantiated with The Case of The Lepchas of Sikkim, India
In light Of din Approaches that have been propounded for the tribes of India, this paper discusses the case of die Updtuts of Sotitizn. Sikkim grew into a plural society because of the migrations of the Tibetan Bhutiai and*: *pekoe. The British occupation of Sikkim Promoted an influx of the Nepali labour force, and gradually these-people outnumbered the indigenous population of the Lepchas. As a consequence, the Lepcbas Wele pushed further interi…
Ecology and Culture of the Bhutias of North Sikkim
This paper gives an account of the changes that have occurred in the Bhutias of North Sikkim especially after the Tibetan border was closed in 1962. Taking cultural ecology as the analytical method, this paper shows how the Bhutia life interacts with the environment. Although no reserve was created for them, as was the case with the Lepchas of Sikkim, they did have some degree of seclusion reinforced by political and ecological factors. Before th…
